DEDICATION 

OF FART II. 

TO MY ESTEEMED FRIEND AKD NEIGHBOR, 

CAPT. L. W. PINGREE, 

OF KANSAS, 

Who first called my attention to the cor* 

respondence of the spiritual with the 

natural, as the 

Universal and Accurate Language of Nature, 

This volume is respectfully Dedicated 

BY THE AUTHOR. 



In o t e. 

Part II embraces an alphabetical list of 
names of objects, acts and events, &c, most 
likely to occur in dreams, with, a brief 
explanation of their significance and cor- 
respondence. 

Often a word or two will be sufficient to 
indicate the meaning of a dream, after the 
reader is familiar with the principle of 
interpretation. At other times a fuller 
study will be necessary; in such cases, 
note down with a pencil the various sig- 
nifications of the principal parts of the 
dream, and then by arranging them from 
the interpretation, a fuller and more satis- 
factory meaning will be obtained. 

Chicago, 1876. P. A. E. 



The Method 

OF 
INTERPRETING CORRESPONDENTIAL 

DREAMS. 

We will suppose, for example, that the 
dream to be interpreted is this: 

A lady is seen riding a black horse T 
which becomes unmanageable and throws 
her off, breaking her right arm. First T 
find the signification of the various points 
of the dream, as, woman, the will, or the 
lore or affections of the will; horse, the 
intellectual faculty or the understanding ; 
black, truth falsified, or darkened by being 
filled with falsity instead of truth ; riding, 
being moved or carried, influenced, per- 
suaded ; drm. power, right arm, superior 
power, or the power of good over truth ; 



and broken, disabled, power of good to 
guide the understanding destroyed. The 
interpretation is this : 

When the will is carried away by a per- 
verted understanding, or false doctrines 
and persuasions, and the affections and 
desires are unrestrained by truth and right 
principles, the falsity in the understanding 
sanctioning the evil lusts and desires of 
the heart, the moral nature is cast violently 
down, and its power to will and do the 
truth is broken and destroyed. It is to 
teach the dreamer that he is in error or 
false doctrine, and that unless he corrects 
his understanding by learning the truth 
and following it, he will inevitably lose 
whatever of good or good affections and 
truths he now possesses, and will end in 
moral ruin.
